Hi,

I'm trying to configure Elog such that users can self-register. But no luck so far.
I cannot get the login screen. I'm connecting to a logbook (and I can do this without logging in).
Shouldn't I get a screen to login/register?

Here is my elogd.cfg:
[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log
Admin user = kuku other
Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1
URL=https://www.mydomain.de:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

Admin user = me@mydomain.de
[Demo]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4neBt9xnX44YYQay15Yu9PyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4next9PnXShhQQa515Yu9PyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status
[Windows]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4neBt9PnXShhQQay15YuxPyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status

Hello,

I'm new to elog. I've installed it under Slackware 11. Everything worked smoothly until I wanted to establish access control. I followed the steps described under Access control heading in Syntax of elog.cfg chapter. I specified a new password file name and the following steps with no problem. After having created a new user I stopped elogd  and added  Admin user to config file. And here is my problem - each time I want to login to elog, I get "Invalid user name or password!" message. The meaning of it is obvious. So I have repeated all the steps several times. Of course I paid attention to enter user name and password correctly but I can't get rid of this message. For sure I making something wrong, but what it is ?

Here is part of my elogd.cfg:

[global]
Port=8080
Logfile = elogd.log
Logging level = 3
Password file = passwd
Self register = 1
Admin user = eloga
charset = utf-8
 

Here is what happens after elog restart:

elogd 2.8.0 built Oct 22 2010, 11:04:31 revision 2313
Falling back to default group "elog"
Falling back to default user "elog"
Falling back to default group "elog"
Falling back to default user "elog"
ImageMagick detected
Indexing logbooks ... Converting password file for logbook "Demo" to new encoding ... ok

Server listening on port 8080 ...

Here is the password file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- created by MXML on Wed Nov 24 13:13:43 2010 -->
<list>
  <user>

    <email>Mariusz.Stakowski@asseco.pl</email>
    <email_notify/>
  </user>
</list>

And here is what I found in elogd.log file:

24-Nov-2010 13:50:06 [] Server listening on port 8080 ...
24-Nov-2010 13:50:53 [eloga@xx.xx.xx.xx] {Demo} LOGIN user "eloga" (attempt)

Could somebody help me please ?

Best regards

I see only Save Back Change Password Remove User in Config Menu.

How can I create a New User?

[global]
Port=8880
SSL=1
;Self register = 1
Password file = passwd
admin user = kuku
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain

[Demo]

Attributes = Author, Status

The documentation is mentioning a Config Menu and a New User item there.

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to edit an existing entry. I want to add an attachment. I can upload an attachment to the existing entry, but submitting it does not seem to work. The  added attachment is not visible. But it exists in logbook directory. The only way I found to add it, is to use "Resubmit as new entry" which is not quite what I want. Is it a design feature or perhaps I'm doing something wrong ?

Best regards

 Hi all,

i have a question... How can i manage it that elog starts automatically on windows startup ? I  always need to type "elogd -p 85" in the console that it starts ...

Can anyone help me ? =)

Thanks

SenoX

I have installed elog 2.8 in a windows pc with the installer from the distribution, it installs elog as a windows service, which is started automatically when windows starts.

It is done as:

"C:\Archivos de programa\ELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "C:\Archivos de programa\ELOG\elogd.cfg"

Moreover Imagemagick and GhostScript are in the path:

Version: ImageMagick 6.6.4-6 2010-09-21 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2010 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: OpenMP 

However the indexing loogbooks are only working  fine when elog is started interactively.  Is there any posiblity to start elog as a service and use thumbnails for quick preview?

Thank you in advance!

Hello all,

I have a problem with retrieving attachments of an entry on "Execute new" command. In the syntax of elodg.cfg it is: In addition the list of all attachments can be referred to via $<attachment>. Could anyone explain it a little bit more explicit, or attach an example?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Is it possible to run multiple instance of elog on the same windows box where each instance listens on a different port?

Thanks.

Behdad.
